He was originally scouted while on holiday in the Philippines – not by an Australian agency, but by Canada’s Dulcedo Model Management, which is his ‘mother’ agency.

There is some suggestion that Scott may have been modelling in Australia four-five years ago. Can’t confirm that at this stage. But it is fairly obvious that his international career really only took off last year. Hence models.com – which ranks Scott the world number #21 male model, making him Australia’s highest-ranked male model and the only other Australian currently on MDC’s Top 50 Men list (Andrej Pejic is #45) – only has his work of the past 18 months on its database.

Since that Givenchy debut, Scott, his spectacular physique and signature moustache – which we have to say gives him a little bit of a rough trade/porn star appeal – have literally powered ahead.

This Sean Penn/Joe Dallesandro lookalike has done campaigns for Zara, H&M, Stefanel, Jimmy Choo, Cesare Paciotti and Björn Borg Underwear. According to Priscillas, a Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance campaign is about to be released.

Scott featured on the cover of the Spring/Summer 2013 edition of Vogue Hommes International back in May – fly unbuttoned, to boot. Here is a quick interview he did to promote the issue. He mentions how much bigger he used to be when he was playing rugby – 95 kilos to be precise – and indeed, how much bigger than many other male models he remains today, even though he has lost weight/muscle. Scott tells an amusing anecdote of how he had to wear a “skort” in the first Givenchy show (look #4), because his legs were too big to fit the collection’s trousers. Scott tells the interviewer: “Clients say they like me, but they wouldn’t consider using me for a show because I’m too big”.

In this post, Frockwriter discussed the weight issue faced by Australia’s new male modelling stars, many of whom are coming from sporting backgrounds.
